105209, The key word Bags used was "equality."

I don't think most black people that criticized Tyler Perry hate him as much as they hate the fact that his movies get green lighted while movies like Hav Plenty are few and far between. Most people regardless of race like simple, entertaining, movies. Most quirky white movies have a small audience, but since they are the majority in this country their small audience still brings in more money. Now, the question I have is this...white people people will watch "Big Momma's House", but I doubt they would see a Black version of "The Royal Tenenbaums".....why is that? I know plenty of black people who support quirky, independent films. I bet the same white people who love "Clerks" would not watch a similar movie with a black cast.
